All this Trump Rally is Missing are Brown Shirts and SS Troops

The comparison has been made over and over again that Trump’s rise to power is a bit too eerily similar to the rise of Adolf Hitler in Germany. Some may say that comparison is a bit extreme, but there are just too many strange coincidences to discount the idea.

And then this happened on Saturday:

Trump may have been going for something a bit more patriotic, but the result is that a crowd of fans appeared to be giving the Nazi salute to their dear leader. Or maybe Trump knew exactly what he was doing. Who knows?
